T0 on whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, ASHTON COATES and JOHN C. WRIeHT,citizens of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Collar-Buttons, of which the following is a specification.

Ourinvention relates to detachable buttons used principally for fixing collars to neckbands of shirts and may be used for other purposes.

The object of our invention is a button so constructed that it may readily be used to fix a collar to a shirt-neekband, easily removed, yet not easily lost. WVe attain these objects by combining with the button a neckbandhook, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a blank from which the base and hook are made. Fig.2 represents the base with the hook.- Fig; 3 is a face View of the button, base, and hook. edge view of Fig. 3.-

Similar numerals of reference refer to same parts in allthe views.-

The construction of our button is as fol- Fig. 4 is an lows: A blank of soft metal is cut in form as shown in Fig. 1. In this blank is punched a hole 3 for the button-shank 4. The hook I is then turned to the form shown in Fig. 4. The button-head 2 and shank 4 are made in the usual manner, and the shank 4 is brazed in the hole 3.

The application of our improved button is as follows: The button head is inserted through the front buttonhole of the neckband, so as to place the book 1 over the top edge of the neckband. The collar is then secured by the button in the usual manner.

Having as above fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a collar-button, a neckband-hook projecting from the base of the button-shank, and adapted to engage the neckband of a shirt, a fixed shank and a button-head, all substantially as shown and described.
